MN: Predicted Milan XI vs Pisa – Tomori the only returnee for Allegri

Fikayo Tomori is predicted to return to the starting lineup for AC Milan tomorrow night when they face Pisa at the Arena Garibaldi. 

Massimiliano Allegri has had to deal with a pretty slim squad all season, partially due to his own squad choices. However, with the recent injuries, he has had most of his teams picked for him, but this may change.

With a few players available in each position, the Italian has a bit more freedom with his squad and it is expected to show.

The predicted XI

Mike Maignan, as MilanNews reports, will start in goal again, whilst Fikayo Tomori should return to the backline in the place of Koni De Winter. Taking the final two spots, Strahinja Pavlovic and Matteo Gabbia will retain their starting roles.

In the midfield, it is completely unchanged for Allegri, who will once again rely on the core of Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana. Even on the flanks, there are no changes with Alexis Saelemaekers still unavailable. So, Davide Bartesaghi will sit on the left, with Zachary Athekame making a second consecutive start.

Up front, it seemed Rafael Leao was back to optimal condition, but Massimiliano Allegri will keep the front two unchanged, preferring the Portuguese as an option off the bench.

Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Athekame, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Nkunku, Loftus-Cheek.
